Hi,

I took my toefl yest. In my reading section, one passage was difficult. So i am scarred that i must have done some mistakes and in my listening section, i did 2 mistakes. after confirming the answer i realized that the answer was wrong. How will this affect my score. I was aiming for a very high score. Could you tell me how many correct answers make up a high score.

TIA!
Sirisha

Hey,

Sorry your test did not go as planned. However, 1-2 mistakes per section means that you'll lose at most one point for each, i.e. you'd get 29 out of 30 for reading and 29 out 30 for listening, provided that you didn't make any other mistakes!
